Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM
For removing black and white heads a commonly done office procedure is called comedone extraction and is usually done manually with a special instrument, comedone extractor. As far as i know, Lasers are usually not used to remove black/white heads but a simpler machine like microdermabrader or Radiofrequency cautery can be used for the same.
Hope this will resolve your query.
Thank

Could be clean up or a microdermabrasion. It is usually done for dead skin and rough texture of skin
